Let’s see: making a TV show uses vast amounts of energy and fossil fuels. You can bet that there are lots and lots of plastic water bottles present. Putting on the Emmys certainly uses vast amounts of energy and fossil fuels. Then you have all the fossil fuels used to transport all the stars, attendees, and media to the Emmys. But, hey, green ribbons!
Green Ribbons at the 2015 Emmys Draw Attention to Climate Change
The most notable accessory on the red carpet at the 2015 Emmys on Sunday night wasn’t a diamond necklace or stack of shiny bracelets. Instead, several stars sported green ribbons to call attention to climate change.
As tweeted by the National Resources Defense Council, the green ribbons worn by celebrities like Transparent star Jeffrey Tambor were part of the #DemandClimateAction campaign, which calls on world leaders to directly address climate change, including “a new universal legal agreement” between countries committing to a “low-carbon future.”
Congrats to @jeffreytambor! And thanks for wearing the #DemandClimateAction ribbon! http://t.co/pUtLXHesPEhttp://t.co/Efdl2uydtP #Emmys

Green ribbons have previously been worn to highlight mental illness, but these had small white letters spelling out the hashtag #DemandClimateAction. Love how they’re pinning them to dresses and suits that cost thousands of dollars, pimping an issue for which the solutions would harm the poor and middle class.
You also have to love that the Cult of Climastrology is still pimping awareness after all these years, rather than changing their own lives to accord with their talking points.
